WARNING: This Gameplay Material From The Abortive SNAKE PLISSKEN'S ESCAPE Could Give You A Whopping Case Of Geekly Blue Balls!! (Now With Working Talkbacks)

Via Kotaku and IGN comes this look at a Snake Plissken video game which never saw the light of day.

How a Snake Plissken video game has not been generated to this pint is beyond me - the Carpenter/Russellverse must be at least as potential-rich as RIDDICK (which got a game), no? But it appears one was at least in development a while back.

Tentatively titled Snake Plissken's ESCAPE, the video's description says the game featured Kurt Russell's likeness, and a nearly finished campaign design with a storyline approved by the Escape franchise's principle creatives—Russell, John Carpenter, and the late Debra Hill.

If I’m understanding the timing of matters correctly, announcements about this game and its supposed/intended release date would place this video somewhere 2003/2005.

Behold... SNAKE PLISSKEN’S ESCAPE.

All I have to say, having more or less rubbed one out over the idea of a Plissken game, is...it’s not too late! If it were as utterly badass as the recent TOMB RAIDER, I would completely pass out and never awaken. Although, maybe they could do a simpler version for XBOX Arcade, or something? Like the TURTLES: OUT OF THE SHADOWS title which came out recently? But maybe gooder than that.
